if you liked the brutalist and think la bola negra is too pretentious or self-important, youβre a homophobe
mind you he gagged over the brutalist
βLa Bola Negra,β a new film by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, dramatizes gay repression and liberation across three interconnected stories. At first, the year is 1937 and viewers are thrust deep into the Spanish Civil War, where a Nationalist soldier and a wounded Republican freedom fighter exchange furtive glances. By the end, itβs 2017, and a Madrid-based historian need only look to Grindr to satisfy an urge. The movie βwants to be a sweeping historical epic of gay longingβa film about what it means to be a man who desires other men in times of war and peace,β Justin Chang writes. Instead, the directors have produced βa film that insists, arrogantly and aggressively, on its own monumentalityβ. Even compelling performances from Glenn Close, PenΓ©lope Cruz, and Lola DueΓ±as fail to rescue the extravagantly overwrought film. Read Chang's full review: newyorker.com/culture/the-cuβ¦

jesus talks about how god inspired her
CMAT on how Taylor Swift inspired her to pick up the guitar and start writing songs, and her admiration for Taylorβs songwriting:
βI literally started writing rip-off Taylor Swift songs when I was 11. Like, the worst rip-offs of Taylor Swift songs ever. [β¦] And sheβs the best topline writer maybe ever. Like, the way that she does consonants and vowels in relation to melody is so impressive every time, and she had it from day one.β
letβs not mention the words gaga, desperate, and campaign in the same breath my love cause there could be 100 people in the room and all 100 will remember the behaviours
sheβs really doing a #bit on this record but she does the #but quite fabulously
